According to Demi, she punched her back up dancer Shorty, as a result of Shorty snitching on Demi for using Adderall irresponsibly.

She entered her first treatment center at the age of 18, but would still "sneak drugs on planes, in bathrooms, at night...nobody knew."

"I just knew I needed to be high to get through what I was going through."

And although the breakup was mutual, Demi knew she still had issues to conquer and she couldn't do that while "relying on someone to take care of the loneliness."
